    Err... and how is that relevant? I'm sure Blu-Ray will live on in other notebooks, but Apple's? Unlikely.

    There were 100GB BDXL when Apple refreshed the MacBook Pro's this year.

    Maybe when Steve Jobs is gone for good then Apple can finally have Blu-Ray and a laptop with a right-click mouse.

    Sounds great!

    Maybe we'll see a new Mini with Thunderbolt and an SSD option during the same time frame!

    One can hope...

    Don't believe it!

    It's easy to believe it...when they say Windows Phone is a "differentiated" platform, they simply mean "inferior"...move along, citizens :rolleyes:

    Not really. Creative was going broke.

    Who says Creative was going broke?

    They have been around a long time and seem to be doing better than ever. They have a pretty extensive and diverse product line and they supply many of the OEM computer manufacturers with products.

    I thought that their patent claim was pretty lame. But the US patent office seems to be giving companies patents on anything these days.

    Apple is a pretty litigation happy company themslves so I guess this is just another line item on the Apple corporate lawyer expense account.

    If it looks good (and have great specs) it might be time to replace my pre-Unibody 2007 MBP. :cool:

    I just posted earlier today about how I was waiting for the Apple iPhone to upgrade my RAZR... but honestly thats it?

    I feel like the only one who looks at that design and says "blah". Its a horrible design for a phone. Its a nano with a bigger screen. Thats it. There are 1000 phones out there now that look just like this.

    I can't believe this is what we've been waiting for years and god knows how much in R&D for?

    I'm a much bigger fan of the iChat Mobile. (I know its fake but its a much better idea than this. Granted it needs some work too...)

    http://idisk.mac.com/mox358/Public/ichat_mobile.jpg

    apple makes its hardware designs simple and elegant, that is how they will make their cell phone, simple and elegant. While it may look very similar to other cellphones the software and the capabilities will be next to none. Try for instance "livingston" a technology apple has where you click and drag an app or widget onto a mobile device (in this case cell phone). Think of the implications of being able to bring what you were working on with you on your cell phone and be able to alter it

    apple isn't doing good b/c of how their computers look (you can find others that look just like macs but still suck the big one)

    1) Thanks for reminding me, i forgot that fact.
    2) But you'll happily have a RAID array and plug THAT into your iBook?
    3) Yeah you said, a RAID array... a sort of external HD, but in an array.
    4) If you take your iBook on the road with you, then how are the other people in your house going to access the movies and other media via iTV if its stored on your "RAID array" which requires a host computer to be of any use?

    You have high expectations for Apple then? Its going to be some RAID array!

    Rather than a RAID, what they need is a foolproof NAS (Network-attached storage). A NAS is basically a special purpose computer that has a network port (wired/wireless) as well as internal/external storage through USB/SATA/eSATA. For example D-Link makes a NAS that is compatible with uPnP as well as Bonjour. This box has space for an internal hard drive (ATA) as well as USB2 for external HDs. It has 802.11g wireless as well as ethernet port. You just connect is as another network device in your home and then you can dump your media into it from your PC/Mac. So, for people with laptops, you can buy your media or RIP them into the NAS and then iTV can use it. This can work well for people with laptops. iTV should be able to work off of a NAS rather than a PC/Mac.

    The current versions of NAS may not be foolproof (Apple quality standards) and therefore this is a companion product that Apple could produce for home media storage. Another advantage of the NAS is that it can be near where iTV is rather than the computer since the bandwidth requirements for iTV are more important than for the computer. You don't want glitches while playing back media. So, you could live with downloading the media from online into NAS directly (through a slower wireless connection). Then have the NAS connected through wired ethernet to iTV.

    Hope this makes sense!!

    I think we can call this confirmed. The Chicago Tribune has a pic of Bono and Oprah using the red Nano on the front page of their website - http://www.chicagotribune.com/

    A further story by the Trib says this will happen on Friday (tomorrow) - http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-061012red-ipod-story,1,3682862.story?coll=chi-news-hed

    What is it with some of you guys? Does hope spring eternal, or what!

    Apple could be at a medical convention to promote the new artificial Apple iHeart and some of you would be jumping up and down screaming: "Yahoo, this means MBP updates".

    What's with us? We want C2D MBP's. That's all.

    Though I'm very interested to see what's going to be announced at this event, outside of MBP's.

    On the surface, Apple's position on this specific application seems ridiculous. Having said that, I don't know if the App store approval process changes much. If the iPhone was open to any application, then Apple could have taken legal action against Rogue Amoeba. I suppose it would be more difficult than just denying the app, but Apple would have a way to squash this app, if they wanted to.

    I have to disagree. Rogue Amoeba in *no way* violated Trademark or Copyright rules with this. In fact, they used Apple's own OS X APIs.

    This is based on a 1-hr episode of Lost is about 200MB.
    You're assuming that the resolution (and thus bitrate) will remain the same. I hope this isn't the case since 320x240 is fine for TV, but for movies I'd like at least 720x480 (DVD quality) or 1280x720 (720p) which means 4-9x as many bits.

    You get some advantage from the codec, so a 4x file can only be 2x as big, but pretty soon you're talking about gigs of data.

    I believe this media player will simply be a better iPod with better integration to your television, via possibly a nice dock. It makes sense, it's keeps the iPod in the forefront which would enable the market to grow because most will buy it for the music, but seeing it can attach to the t.v... :)

    AMAZING!!!!!!
    I'm very excited to see this come to XBMC. Cannot wait!

    I'm confused... What will this give us in XBMC that we don't already have? Since I'm assuming you're running XBMC on Apple TV2, Airplay already works just fine...

    From my iTunes library on my PC I can stream to my Apple TV2 in the bedroom, or to my Airport Express in the living room. From my iPhone, I can stream almost any app (Napster, Pandora, Netflix, etc) to either my AppleTV2 or the living room Airport express (audio only).

    So, I'm confused what additional capability this is going to give those of us who have already invested in an Apple ecosystem.

    This may have been asked and answered before, but is the common belief that USB and Firewire will be completely gone soon? For example, my Macbook Air has room for only two ports - a mini-display drive, and a USB drive. Is the idea that the Thunderbolt drive will replace the USB, and that purchasers of the new Air will use an adapter of some sort for "old" USB peripherals moving forward?

    If Apple has this expectation, they had better at least sell an appropriate adapter/hub. I've long thought a thin, form-matching hub that connects to all of the ports on one side of an Apple portable would be a great idea. If Apple can make a 2- or even 3-port USB hub off of the Thunderbolt port (especially if a Mini Display-Port is also available) for ~$50, that would be golden for this type of MBA plan.

    I believe Microsoft's #1 problem is that they are the king of generic names for products:

    Word for word processing.

    Windows for a graphical user interface that has content stores in windows.

    Perhaps the only "cool" names Microsoft has are Excel and Xbox?

    Damit! They want App Store for selling apps and Apple's already taken it.

    Perhaps their argument will be, "How come Apple did not just name their online store the iApp Store, geez...."

    Perhaps Microsoft will be left with no alternative but to use the mokier, "Microsoft Store," "Software Store," or "Soft Store?" They could even just call their store "M$ Store."

    Looks like MacCentral forgot to mention the fact that no matter how few cores an application can use - even if it's only ONE, the fact that more can be run at full speed SIMULTANEOUSLY is the whole reason for wanting-having-needing more cores - not wiether or not what you normally run can use 2, 3 or even all 4 cores at this time. The OS delegates to however many cores are vacant or underused so the user gets immediate benefit from 4 cores they will never get from 2. And I am 100% certain that tthe benefit is radically more than 20-30%.

    It's an old think I always do one thing at a time mentality that overlooks this otherwise obvious reason for going with more cores if you can afford it.Heh, that's pretty funny. I have quite a few applications that'll hit one core at 100%. (Q emulator is the best example) Luckily, even though it's not multi-threaded a have another core free to do my work while Q eats up 100% of one.

    I run Windows 98 in Q for laughs. I liked Windows 98...

    Face it the Conroe Mac is coming.

    iMac 24" - $1999

    Mac Pro (downgraded to 2.0 Ghz) + 23" - 3198

    That is a $1k price gap.

    A high quality midtower would fit perfectly. They have another chip to differentiate the product matrix. It is coming!

    Mac Mini - Core Duo (yonah) - base entry machine. 2 RAM slots
    iMac - Core 2 Duo (Merom) - All in one basic to prosumer models, quiet operation and powerful. 2 RAM Slots
    "Mac" - Core 2 Duo (Conroe) - mini tower 1 optical, 2 drives, 2 PCIe, 4 RAM Slots - prosumer to low end workstation.
    Mac Pro - Xeon (Woodcrest) - Full tower 2 processors, 8 RAM slots, 4 PCIe, 2 optical, 4 drive bays. - Mid to high end workstation.


    Sounds kind of feasible for a single CPU "Mac" Conroe system and it would fit nicely into the Apple product line up. I think a Conroe system would appeal nicely to prosumers and gamers.

    Bought monitors with anti-glare coatings. And monitor hoods.


    My first computer was a PowerBook G3 and after that it was an LCD iMac (not the Luxo). Never had to ever use a CRT other than school and even then it sucked big time. I feel privileged. With the release of all this gloss glass monitors from :apple:, I am saving a boat load of money by simply not upgrading to the crap offerings and just use a Dell monitor and update to a Mac Mini or MacPro when the time presents itself to upgrade.

    Thank you :apple: for not offering any Anti-Glare across the entire hardware lineup. :p

    The phone's look is indeed very similar.
    Of course, Samsung's Android phone has many additional items such as their pulldown notification shade with built-in radio and orientation lock controls... which many people would love for Apple to copy.
    http://www.techlicious.com/images/computers/samsung-galaxy-tab-8_9-vs-10_1-vs-ipad2-front.jpg
    The tablet is a different matter, and doesn't have the same look.
    Actually, the tablet's look the same too. But, that's also a factor of many design decisions made over time by Google, et al. Here's the odd thing about the tablet. Samsung's first 10.1 looked similar to the iPad, with the non-tapered edges, and black bezel. Then, when Samsung saw the iPad 2... and I'm guessing it WASN'T at Apple's unveiling... (we've all been hearing rumors, they're in a position to get MORE than rumors, but molds) they began finalizing a new design... with tapered edges and improved thinness. When Samsung finally unveiled their "new design", the prototype didn't function. They only had the originals out to show UI stuff. Now, they're pushing for a release in June, when they've finalized the hardware and moved it into production.

    http://www.theiloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/galaxy-tab-10.1-vs-ipad-2.jpg

    I think they know what they're doing. They're counting on the products looking similar, and they'll do anything to make that happen. My assumption is, that beyond ANY other manufacturer, Samsung is the one most in position to duplicate Apple's hardware designs. The last episode with the tablets I would definitely characterize as "slavish". They even had a quote from Samsung to go with it.

    Lee Don-joo, executive vice president of Samsung's mobile division, said that Apple has presented new challenges for the South Korean company with a thinner mobile gadget that is priced the same as its predecessor.

    "We will have to improve the parts that are inadequate," Lee told Yonhap News Agency. "Apple made it very thin." The idea that they have a rapid development and engineering group isn't that difficult to grasp. I honestly just wish they'd do their own thing, because inevitably this would happen. It's like someone behind you is copying your test answers and muttering about it, and when you finally turn back and yell, "Enough!" The class is looking at you like you have the problem.

    When Windows starts to come close to SL in terms of ease of use and functionality let me know ;)
    You have clearly never used Windows 7.

    Command Shift 4= snap selection
    Command Shirt 3= full screen.
    And neither have you.

    I don't think anything is invulnerable. However, I do not see the point in using antivirus for my iDevices. Instead, it just seems more sensible to be careful what I do on these devices rather than to have something that will probably just cause more problems, as bloated antivirus programs tend to do. I have the free trial of Sophos on my iMac, and even though it hasn't slowed it down any yet, it also has yet to uncover a single threat.
